This museum with its origins in Murjāņi is a journey, a reality envisioned by the poet. A journey into physical space, spiritual growth, intellectual development and new experiences. The museum operates around a fundamental principle derived from the poet’s bidding: I want my museum to be a home for the muses where people would come to spend time in formative activity, meaningful conversation and creativity. The museum’s mission rests on the ideas of Imants Ziedonis, the thoughts expressed in his creative writing and the values he held dear – promoting creativity in Latvia, inspiring the public to uphold their Latvian identity and providing opportunities for creative exploration of one’s inner and outer worlds. Meanwhile, the Ziedonis Library in Rīga is a creative and interactive space for anyone who wishes to explore the writings and persona of Imants Ziedonis as well as a research and education centre for pupils, students and interested people of all ages.
